I am craving it, and am not sure if it's allowed. I was banded on 12/14.

All advice is welcome!

Thanks!

I have a mini bag several times a week. Maybe you can tolerate it, maybe you can't. There are no "absolutely can never have"s with the band. Try it for yourself.

i've had a little with no probs. went to the movies and got the kids size... yyuumm

Eating some right now, umm ummm ummm ummm good.

No problem here either. Nice treat . Sometimes I just eat popcorn for dinner.

For some reason, I dont know why, but I thought we couldn't..I was depressed..Ill admit it.

I LOVE Popcorn

Now for a lesson in self restraint..I think Ill wait a week, and then try some..o man I cant wait:clap2:

I eat it all the time with my little ones. I love it and have no problem.

I thought we couldn't have it either...... (because of the carbs and the thought of it getting stuck)

I eat popcorn all the time. I get the 100 calorie bags (regular or kettle corn) and sometimes I can't quite finish the bag. It's a good treat!

I remember reading an article on about.com about lap-band surgery, and the author said that we could never have popcorn again or any beverages with caffeine. I don't think the author knew what she was talking about. Of course, I can't find that article now. Maybe they retracted it.

I eat the 100 c

I eat the 100 calorie bags. My doctor said they go down like sand. I have no problem consuming the entire bag at once! Enjoy.

No popcorn OR caffeine?? What kind of life is that?? Just kidding. I love my coffee and my doc said it was fine to continue drinking it.

If you can eat it, here is a trick...

You can get bulk popcorn and put a small scoop in a paper bag, fold the end shut and stick it in the microwave. Every microwave is different but i usually set the timer on the microwace for about 2 minutes- I pull it out when the popping starts to get really fast. No butter, no oil, no artificial anythings. Just popcorn and a brown papaer bag. Then of course I spruce it up with my own stuff- but it really works.

I can't believe what I am reading????? I am not going to fool myself into believing that I can

eat or drink anything that should be restricted after going through what it takes to get a lap-

band. I will not undo the progress I have made because someone else says it's no problem. (Loss of 65lbs. Date of Surgery: 11/19/2013

No one is saying you should, vissmicki. Whatever's working for you, you just keep on rocking it!

Back to the popcorn, I loooooooove the stuff! I just make sure I limit myself to no more than a serving and try to pick the "lesser of evils" calorie wise when choosing a brand/type!
